. Delilah is a sweet and friendly Lhasa Apso who spent 9 years living in a wire cage in a puppy mill until she was saved by National Mill Dog Rescue earlier this month.

Her intake date is listed as October 10, so she has only known freedom for several days now. She was bathed and shaved after her rescue, and on October 12 her caregivers shared one of the most heartwarming videos ever, with Delilah, all clean and unmatted, rolling around on a soft bed and feeling sheer joy.

This video shows Delilah experiencing a bed for the first time in her life:

I know how the little thing feels. I raise baby chickens and ducks until they are safe to be put in with the bigger ones and the cage they are in has a wire floor, I love to see them experience the ground for the first time. I am so sorry for the little doggie. Bless her little heart.
